	Basin - LoveToKnow 1911
		Some of the better known geological basins in England are, the London basin, a shallow trough or syncline of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Jurassic rocks; the Hampshire basin, of similar formations; and the numerous coal basins, e.g.
		Strictly speaking, a structural basin is formed of rock beds which exhibit a centroclinal dip; an elongated narrow syncline or trough is not a basin.
		Lakes sometimes occupy basins that have been caused by the removal in solution of some of the more soluble constituents (rock salt, andc.) in the underlying strata; occasionally lake basins have been formed directly by crustal movements.

	Drainage basin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A drainage basin is the area within the drainage basin divide (yellow outline), and drains the surface runoff and river discharge (blue lines) of a contiguous area.
		Each drainage basin is separated topographically from adjacent basins by a ridge, hill or mountain, which is known as a water divide or sometimes a watershed (in those parts of the world where the drainage basin itself is not called a watershed).
		drainage basin is a logical unit of focus for studying the movement of water within the hydrological cycle, because the majority of water that discharges from the basin outlet originated as precipitation falling on the basin.

	Lunar Orbiter: Impact Basin Geology
		The Cordillera Mountains are regarded as the rim of the basin, defining the basin's 930-kilometer diameter.
		The Imbrium Basin is the largest basin on the nearside of the Moon, with a diameter of 1160 kilometers (the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the farside is twice as large).
		Material ejected by the formation of an impact basin is generally redeposited in the region outside the basin.

	CHAPTER 2. BASIN IRRIGATION
		The shape and size of basins are mainly determined by the land slope, the soil type, the available stream size (the water flow to the basin), the required depth of the irrigation application and farming practices.
		Basin dimensions are chosen to be some multiple of the width of the machines so as to use the equipment as efficiently as possible.
		The part of the basin near the field channel is always in contact with the irrigation water longer than the opposite side of the basin.

	Cedar River Basin and Nonpoint Pollution Action Plan
		The river drains an elongated basin of 188 square miles that extends westward from the crest of the Cascades to the southern shore of Lake Washington in the City of Renton.
		The basin planning area extends from the Landsburg Dam to the river mouth in Renton, a 66 square mile area encompassing both the northern and southern plateaus and the mainstem valley.
		Basin residents have the opportunity to correct existing water quality problems in the basin and take preventive steps to reduce the impacts of new development on the water quality of the Cedar River and Lake Washington.

	Nile Basin Countries
		Most of the population live within the Basin, primarily within a narrow strip along the Nile and in the delta area where population density is high.
		While rainfall in the Nile Basin portion of the country is relatively high, it is highly seasonal and confined to a four month period, while the remainder of the year is dry.
		Rwanda is the country with the highest population density in the Nile Basin.

	World Water Assessment Programme \| Case Studies \| Senegal River Basin, Guinea Mali Mauritania
		The basin has three distinct parts: the upper basin, which is mountainous, the valley, and the delta, which is a source of biological diversity and wetlands.
		Today, irrigation is the motor of development in the basin, notably in the valley and in the delta, due not only to improved technology, but also to the wider variety of produce grown (rice, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes).
		Fishing, in terms of the income of the work force that it employs, is undoubtedly the largest economic activity in the basin after agriculture, notably for populations living near the river in the valley and the delta.

	Friends of the Willunga Basin
		The physical geographic boundaries to the area known as the Willunga Basin are the Sellicks Hill Range to the South and East [often referred to as the Willunga Escarpment] and the Southern slopes of the Onkaparinga Gorge to the North; the North-Easternmost point being in the vicinity of Bakers Gully.
		The Willunga Basin forms part of the Fleurieu Peninsular and is often referred to as the natural "Gateway to the Fleurieu", being separated from the Southern Fleurieu by the Sellicks Hill Range.
		The name "Willunga Basin" has emerged over the past ten years from being a simple geographic term defining the limits of a specific hydrological catchment area, to become a strong cultural definition of a community of rural villages south of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.

	Vicious Venues: Dragonsbreath Basin
		Outdoors, the basin might be housed in a decaying stone building with a massive central dome or vault.
		Dragonsbreath basin is in reality the grave of a great gold wyrm that literally melded itself into the landscape at the moment of death.
		The basin was once a round pool lined with a low stone wall, but the acidic waters of the pool have eaten way most of the wall, letting the waters spread over the chamber.

	Vermont Water Quality Planning Section -
		It concentrates on issues of basin importance where cooperation among municipalities, private organizations and branches of state government can be effective in protecting, restoring or enhancing water quality.
		A Basin Plan must be considered in the issuance of permits by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
		Every five years, in conjunction with the preparation of a Basin Plan, the regional and municipal plans associated with the basin will be reviewed to determine their consistency with "essential water protection elements" and to identify any potential conflicts or deficiencies with regard to proposed basin planning recommendations.

	Upper Rock River Basin - WDNR
		The basin is bounded on the east by the Niagara escarpment and the eastern terminal moraine, formed by the Green Bay lobe during the last glaciated period in Wisconsin.
		The largest water features in the basin are the Rock River, the Crawfish River, the Beaver Dam River, Horicon Marsh, Beaver Dam Lake, Lake Sinissippi and Oconomowoc Lake.
		The primary water quality problems in impoundments the Upper Rock River Basin, excessive growth of algae, reduced dissolved oxygen levels, and poor water clarity (turbidity), are caused by agricultural and urban polluted runoff, which contribute thousands of tons of sediment and nutrients to surface waters annually.

	Newark Basin Text
		The gentler side of the triangle is the "floor" of the basin, and separates rift-basin sediments from rocks that pre-date the formation of the basin.
		Strata within the basin generally dip to the northwest, although strata are subhorizontal adjacent to the border fault, where the seismic line crosses a fold.
		Thus, the lacustrine strata in the Richmond basin represent a humid end member, the lacustrine strata in the Fundy basin represent an arid end member, and the lacustrine strata in the Newark basin are intermediate between the two end members.

		Left behind was a vast, arid, high-elevation basin, with deep canyons and steep, north/south-trending mountain ranges, piercingly cold in winter and blisteringly hot in summer.
		Fleet-footed pronghorns are a notable exception, as are raptors: golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, goshawks, peregrine and prairie falcons, harriers, kestrels, and even bald eagles sweep the skies of this sere landscape.
		To make sure all wilderness is properly managed, the Club is pressing BLM and Forest Service agents to become more forceful and conscientious land stewards, despite still resistance from miners who currently have free run of the public domain, and from ranchers who feed on the largesse of government grazing subsidies.
